1. SCOPE OF THIS MANUAL

Elettronica Santerno is committed to update its User Manuals available for download from santerno.com with

the latest software version officially released. Please contact Elettronica Santerno if you require technical

documents related to previous software versions.

2. GENERAL INFORMATION

2.1. Description of the Product

The inverters of the SUNWAY M XS series are full-digital devices that convert DC energy produced by

photovoltaic (PV) panels – when radiated by sunlight – into AC energy, which is delivered to the grid.

A solar system for the self-generation of electric power is composed of two elements:

• The PV generator, consisting of a set of PV panels.

• The SUNWAY M XS inverter, delivering power supply from the PV generator to the grid.

Operation in parallel to the grid allows consumers to exploit the power supply produced directly by the

system when radiated by sunlight, and to deliver power which is not locally consumed to the grid, by

conferring it to the Grid Administrator. Therefore, residual power can be used by other consumers connected

to the grid, thus allowing the exploitation of the green energy produced by the PV generator, as well as the

constant operation of the same PV generator at its max ratings for optimum performance.

At night-time or when sunlight is weak, consumers can exploit the grid to power their loads.

All the parameter values related to the operation of the equipment may be easily programmed through the

touchscreen display and the parameter menus and submenus.

The inverters of the SUNWAY M XS series have been designed and manufactured in compliance with the

requirements of the “Low Voltage Directive” and the “Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive” and comply

with the prescriptions for grid connection applying to self-generation electric plants.

2.2. Benefits

• Wide range of supply voltages: 125 to 580 Vdc;

• Full-digital DC/AC conversion through 32-bit microprocessor obtained with PWM technique and

IGBT bridge ensuring high efficiency, high reliability and low distortion of the grid current;

• Transformerless topology;

• Die cast aluminium enclosure for maximum robustness, thermal performance and weight

optimization, suitable for outdoor installation (IP65-rated);

• DC disconnect switch ensuring maximum safety when maintaining the inverter (optional);

• Input filters and output filters for the suppression of conducted disturbance and radiated disturbance;

• Testing circuit to check the isolation resistance between the input and the earth;

• Operation in parallel to the grid, power factor = 1;

• Fast connection through quick-coupling MC4 connectors for the connection of up to 4 strings;

• User interface based on graphic touchscreen display, 240x320 pixels, 262,000 colours for user-

friendly control of the inverter functionality;

• RS485 serial link with Modbus protocol for remote monitoring and programming (optional);

• Wi-Fi connectivity for the access to LANs and interaction via smartphones;

• Remote Technical Support if the inverter is connected to the Internet;

• Power supply from the grid in order to maintain operation even in the event of weak solar radiation

from the PV field.

2.3. Operating Principle

The power conversion system (inverter) is connected directly to the PV field. By using an IGBT bridge

associated with a high-frequency voltage booster, the DC current coming from the PV field is converted into

AC at the grid frequency. The transformerless architecture ensures maximum efficiency without affecting

safety: the residual current device (RCD) is integrated into the inverter and the redundant grid connecting

devices ensure proper safety even in the event of single fault.

The EMC filters for the suppression of electromagnetic disturbance, the isolation sensor monitoring the

isolation to earth of the PV panels as well as the device controlling the operation in parallel to the grid are

integrated into the inverter. Therefore, no additional device external to the inverter is required.

Figure 1: Block diagram of the SUNWAY M XS

2.4. Main Standard Integrated Functions

This section contains a brief description of the equipment functions, to allow users who are not familiar with

the operation of PV fields to better understand this manual.

Device for constant isolation control: this is a device which checks the isolation between the earth and

the polarities of the PV field and the earth before the inverter is connected in parallel to the grid. This function

is obtained by measuring the isolation resistance: the equipment is factory-set to detect isolation loss when

the isolation resistance between polarity + or polarity – and the earth drops below 850 kΩ.

MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking): A sophisticated computing performed by the microprocessor

allows the inverter to detect the optimum operation point of the PV field, corresponding to the maximum

power that can be produced by the PV field depending on current solar radiation conditions.

INSTALLATION AND

PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS

Automatic Disconnecting Means: This device automatically disconnects the self-generation plant from the

grid when parallel operation is no longer possible. This typically occurs when the grid “opens” due to

maintenance needs or to safety circuit tripping. This function allows the inverter to instantly disconnect from

the grid, thus avoiding unwanted stand-alone operation of the plant and electric shock hazards for the

operators working on the grid. Trip times and levels are factory-set according to the applicable safety

standards. To modify the factory settings, please refer to the sections relating to the inverter programming.

The ratings of this safety function have been certified as prescribed by the Grid Administrator.

When required by the Grid Administrator, a simple self-test procedure performed via the touchscreen display

allows checking the efficiency of the grid disconnection device.
